Awww, sorry to hear that, Vikki.
I can't offer any advice as I've never had to deal with constipation in babies and children but I know lactulose can take a while to start working.
didn't you say Apricots usually work for her?
Rasins are good for shifting things. I always know when Sarah has had them.
Hope it sorts itself out, poor little thing

That is an exact story of when i took Ellis to the doctor

My health visitor was better and suggested a few things which also have not worked , doesnt help that he does eat so if its still the same by January hes bein reffered to a dietician.

You could try speaking to her?! Sorry im not much help would like to know myself! xxx

Hope you manage to sort it out. I suffer from it sometimes and I can only imagine how she feels, poor little mite

hun I don't know what to suggest... don't know if you have looked down this avenue but could it be a psychological thing rather than medical, i just wondered as you said somethings work then stop working... maybe she is holding in... I don't know why... maybe she is afraid or feels dirty... we did a study on it i psychology... and I know what Fraud would say about it but i don't tend agree with him

we did some studies though that showed some children had problems overcoming it, a fear of being dirty etc... I am probably way off with it but it might be worth a google or something

Fresh orange does nothing for her. She goes through OJ and oranges like nobody's business.

I said to DH that I think it may be where she's always been constipated she thinks it's going to hurt every time she goes so she holds it in but (tmi alert) when she does go it's like a huge lump, the size of a small grapefruit. I swear, I wonder how she gets it out of her poor little bum.

She's now trying really hard to go. She's standing in front of the TV with her teddy going puce in the face and squeezing the life out of the teddy. She won't let me near her and she's crying and I just wanna make her feel better
